Orchestrating the security stack is a cybersecurity first principle strategy.

Our security stack has grown unwieldy. The complexity breeds vulnerability. Orchestration may be our only hope. Rick reviews SOAR/SIEM platforms, SASE, and DevSecOps strategies from the perspective of orchestrating the security stack. He discovers key methods to build zero trust, intrusion kill chain prevention, resiliency, and risk forecasting within these tools. The Hash Table identifies data governance and policy strategy as a crucial first step. They also talk about the first principles of speaking with the C-suite, as well as the darkside of automation and orchestration.

With Rick Howard, the CyberWire’s CSO and Chief Analyst, joined by Bob Turner, the Fortinet Field CISO for Education, and Kevin Magee, the CSO for Microsoft Canada, discuss orchestration as a first principle strategy.
